Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Dado "Si conduzco por encima del límite de velocidad, entonces recibiré una multa" y "Conduje por encima del límite de velocidad", se aplica la Ley de Detención para concluir "Recibí una multa".
  2. Dado "Si Amanda va al restaurante, entonces pedirá una hamburguesa" y "Si pide una hamburguesa, entonces pedirá papas fritas", se aplica la Ley de Silogismo para concluir "Si Amanda va al restaurante, entonces pedirá papas fritas".
  3. No se sigue ninguna de las leyes correctamente. La premisa "Si nieva, entonces usaré mis botas de nieve" y "Si no voy a la escuela ese día, entonces usaré mis botas de nieve" no permiten la conclusión dada por las leyes de detección o silogismo.

Answer:

  1. La ley usada es la Ley de Detención.
  2. La ley usada es la Ley de Silogismo.
